What is executive presence?

Executive presence is the gap between success and merit. It plays a vital role in making a leader successful.

Executive presence has three core competencies associated with it. The first is gravitas. Gravitas is the weight of character. It is an ability to exude courage and confidence even in the face of adversity. Gravitas has eight drivers to it

Executive Messaging forms the second key competence in building executive presence. Crafting a message, designing conversation, choice of vocabulary, tone, body language and an ability to use silence effectively form a crucial element of executive presence. Leaders consciously build and sharpen their messaging skills to not just convey the message but also its impact and influence
